Summer of 2006

Again I am writing too late, but again nevermind..better late than never ;-)
Last couple of months had been a bit tough, a bit more work and load than its usually in my share or rather thats I pefer to take on my head. First the fear of not getting a proper training opportunity, secondly the dilemma whether to do a project in IISc under a HOD of SERC Dept or to go for a official training at Mentor Graphics,Noida and all that under the loads of final days of the 6th semester.
After some contemplation and advices, I finally joined Mentor at Noida for my 2 months Summer Training.Since I reached about 3 days before my training was to start I explored nearly every place in the vicinity that I cud with my elder brother on his Bike.
The bike drives on the smooth and clean roads there were nodoubts too good to enjoy,as compared to the Varanasi roads where even the most grand bike wud be forced to run like a rattling cart ;-)(The roads outside BHU Campus).But I came up with a sad conclusion that Noida has nothing much to see and visit than the Malls and may be just some movies in the PVR's or some shopping but that option was highly improbable in the absence of a female company :(.
Well then my training commenced ,went on and on, the routine became slightly monotonous in between but still the work i was given was good and interested me.With the two months of this new kinda experience I really learnt a lot both professionally and personally.Now I can say these two months had been most productive holidays that added loads both to my knowledge and personality and i certainly enjoyed the company there with most co-operative and amiable people around me.But the real importance of weekends was soon realised in the corporate life as compared to the student life where each day can be made more or less as good as Sundays(atleast here it is so ;)).
Now when I m back I recall that my daily sleeping routine was a bit weird then.On 5 working days of the week I used to sleep from abt 11:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m and then one ,too essential refreshing nap of abt 1hr from 7:30 to 8:30 exactly .Only then i used to rush to the office.Well mentioning here why i had be so weird to fulfill my sleeping dose seems to be a bit risky job but i can very well take the risk now ;-).Well the reason precisely was my elder brother, he used to wake up early in the morning to leave the home exactly at 7:30, and meanwhile i had to study (or atleast pretend to study), to avoid lectures and scolding right in the morning.

And what followed was a pleasant suprise,on the date(30th June 2006,Friday) when my official training period finished, I was offered a PPO(Pre Placement Offer) by the senior HR Manager.Not to mention, i was really too happy to hear the news, that i cud hardly pay any heed to wat she spoke for the rest 15-20 mins.The next day was a busy one for my brother,with loads of work he had to shift from Noida to Gurgaon.Still we managed to enjoy the first half of the day with a movie and the lunch outside.And thereafter, i was permitted to sleep as much as i want ;)
